Loving the herd life
Appys are kind of "all or nothing" with their hooves. They either tend to have thin, shelly feet or rock hard feet (latter more common in foundation breeding, BTW foundation appys are NOT the spotted quarter horse variety. Unlike a foundation QH, foundation appys tend to be lean and rangy).
WHite socks is an old wives' tale.
When your farrier comes out, have him check the depth of the crack. My purebred Arab mare had a similar crack but the farrier said it was shallow. She never had shoes and completed 100 miles of competitive trail barefoot, so it MAY be nothing.
